Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and place them in a baking dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs.
Step 3
Squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon over the fish, then spread the herb mixture over the fillets. Slice the remaining lemon and place slices on top.
Step 4
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Step 5
Serve hot, spooning any pan juices over the fish.
